HORIZON 2020 in brief. The EU Framework Programme for Research & Innovation

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research and innovation programme ever. Almost €80 billion of funding is available
over seven years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private and national public investment that this money will attract.
Horizon 2020 will help to achieve smart, sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The goal is to ensure Europe
produces world-class science and technology, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and
private sectors to work together in delivering solutions to big challenges facing our society. This pocket guide explains the
programme in more detail. Currently available in English and will be available in all EU languages in the coming weeks.
